Proper noun

der Jemen m (proper noun, strong, usually definite, definite genitive des Jemen or des Jemens, definite plural die Jemen) or Jemen n (proper noun, strong, genitive Jemens)

1. Yemen (a country in West Asia in the Middle East)

Usage notes

• The word is sometimes used without a definite article (as in English): Jemen, in Jemen. In this case, the genitive is always Jemens; for example Jemens Hauptstadt (“Yemen’s capital”).
• More commonly, however, the masculine definite article is used with the name: der Jemen, im Jemen. In this case, the genitive is des Jemen or less often des Jemens; thus die Hauptstadt des Jemen(s) (“the capital of Yemen”).
• The plural form refers to North Yemen (Nordjemen) and South Yemen (Südjemen); for example die beiden Jemen (“the two Yemen[s]”).
